The beginning few months of the puppy's life is the perfect time to introduce him to all the things in the world. You must expose the puppy to the everyday household chores. The mother of the puppy would definitely teach the pups some social skills.

Introduce your new puppy to the family in a quiet atmosphere as this would give it time to get to know the people without sounds of other people in the background which can cause unwanted stress on the puppy.
